I'm in Colombia south America and i don't really know that person, and the price includes the cost of transport and some benefit for the dealer. The price is 4Million (colombia currency) and that's like $1900 dollars. So he gets a small benefit for the new mb or he gets a huge benefit for the refurb.

I just got a refurbished 2.0 (it was flawless btw, absolutely as good as new). The box was plain white cardboard. Inside was just the laptop in foam and a white box with software and cables labeled "Apple Certified". If he has an actual retail box with imagines and such on the outside then it was purchased new.
